Seeger was internationally known as the author or co-author of folk song classics such as “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” “If I Had a Hammer,” and “Turn, Turn, Turn.” Locally, he was involved in the environmental organization Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, which he co-founded in 1966.

Seeger and his wife Toshi, who died in July 2013, founded Hudson River Sloop Clearwater Inc. and the Great Hudson River Revival, the annual music and environmental festival that takes place at Croton Point Park in Croton. The Seegers lived in Beacon for 40 years.

Survivors include his son, Daniel; his daughters, Mika and Tinya; a half-sister, Peggy; and six grandchildren, including the musician Tao Rodriguez-Seeger.
